Description

This pre-owned Marathon GSAR (WW194006) is a military-specification dive watch built to ISO 6425 standards with a tritium self-illumination dial. Designed for use by Search and Rescue (SAR) divers, and issued to the United States Military branches including the Marine Corps, the Marathon GSAR Diver’s Automatic is a watch built to withstand the most extreme of conditions. The Diver’s Automatic is also known as the Government Search and Rescue (GSAR) and is available with or without US Government dial or in a special United States Marine Corp (USMC) edition which features a special dial and engraving on the side of the watch.

Introduced in 2006, it is one of the most popular Marathon watches on the market.

The Marathon GSAR Diver’s watch is water-resistant down to 30 ATM – 300 meters (1000 feet) underwater. Built from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, the watch is a high-quality, purpose-built watch that will reliably accompany you on any adventure. It uses a scratch-resistant, sapphire glass crystal to ensure that the dial can be read even under direct sunlight, or deep underwater.  You can read more about the watch in this listing for a brand new GSAR.

This example features the US Government dial.  It is pre-owned and in very good used condition with box and papers showing signs of normal use (please see pictures).  The case fatures slight marks consitent with field use.  The crystal has very light scratches that can only be seen under magnification and when watch is turned off angle.  The orignal owner send me a video of the watch on a Weishi 1900 watch timer showing this unit tracking with a rate of 0/sec/day!  This watch was timed and adjusted after it left the factory to chronometer specifications!

If you are looking for a very accurate watch that is not a safe queen but ready for daily wear, this pre-owned GSAR should be considered.  A good watch at a nice price.
